Well once again the Chiefs tank another one. The return of Preist Holmes was the only exciting part of the game you might say. Guess what, he did no worse than Larry Johnson was doing. He average
d just over 3 yards per carry. The one thing that Priest did do was he did throw several nice blocks to help protect Huard. This is the one thing that the Chiefs need to be somewhat efficient in the passing game. Bowe had another couple of really nice catches and made a few plays. Brody Croyle comes in and has a so so showing. He had sharp passes and yeah he did have the one INT. Although being fair to him it takes some time to get going and really get accustomed to the action. This will take him several weeks for him to grasp this. As I wrote earlier Brett Favre and John Elway started both of their careers really shaky with interceptions. So there is more to rating a quarterback and how he did, in his first significant play time. He had 1 int and no tds. he was still able to move the team down the field twice one ended with a bonehead move on Preists' part and then you had the int. But in all he did not to bad start. Lets see if Herm will leave him in as the starter.

LJ wanted the big bucks and he has them and has not shown up yet. 559 total rushing yards and a 3.5 average per carry, not to mention he can not block. He can't even fall in front of someone and make them miss the QB. This is not exactly big money type numbers huh. Not in the least. So we bring in a man who has not played for two years, has not seen any significant NFL speed for two years. What does he do, well he averages just over 3 yards per carry and besides the one bonehead play at the 7 yard line and a loss of 14 yards. He does a nice job. All you have heard around this part of the country for that last week was, "oh my god what are we going to do without LJ?" Well it appears to me that you went out and layed an egg just like you have for the other 8 games. So to all redio shows in KC find something worth talking about, we have discussed this all weeka and like I have told several of you we would not be loosing anything and it has now become a reality. You have way bigger stories to report on and talk about. I have a feeling the BCS polls will give you something to complain about and run in the ground all week. Hey Chiefs, you let a team that was last in defense against the run and not good at all against the pass and has had no offense to speak of all year. Then you let them put a Bozo suit on you and you wore it well too, by the way. The defense let you down 4 times late in the game, letting the Denver receivers run rough shot over you most of the second half. up until that point the defense held their own, was getting good pressure on Cutler. Then all of a sudden you give up not on but 3 big plays in the secondary. You can not do this and win in the NFL, even with a really bad team. Hell I had the Chiefs winning all their remaining AFC West opponents. I guess that was a bad prediction huh. None the less the running back situation is not your problem kids in KC. The problem is you have no offense at all. I mean none, but hey LJ got what he wanted huh. You think that he is the type of player to recover and get back as quick as possible. Hell no, he got his guaranteed money. He gets paid to sit at home and eat nachos while watching this pathetic team get embarrassed.
This pic I think pretty much sums up the feel at Arrowhead once again. That was obvious from the empty seat half way through the fourth quarter. This is something you never use to see and now this is the second time in just
a few weeks that the seats are emptying out way before the game ends.
The mystique that was Arrowhead is gone and I think Queen Carl is about to figure that out and in a bad way. Maybe the new kid can get something sparked. Hey he can't do any worse. I mean Damon Played just over a half and through 2 Ints and Brody only threw one. We'll see I guess. Will be going over the rest of the league for a post tomorrow and the new BCS polls. And a new babe of the day, that might be the best part of a Blue Monday in KC.
